  • My first proper flagship

    My 1st proper flagship from any manufacturer. Bought used obviously.

    Bought as a replacement to Meizu 16x that suddenly has camera malfunction, so not able to get any autofocus. Generally I still prefer Meizu 16x due to notchlessess design, compact body and excellent video OIS. And battery life is excellent even with 3100mAh.

    Better on LG v40; wide angle camera, marginally faster processor, excellent sound >Boombox speaker, Quad DAC , DTS surround, 3.5mm Jack, come with earphone inside box. Micro SD slot. Thanks LG. Amoled screen is nice too but not better than Meizu 16x. A lottttt of customization but strangely no gesture type of navigation.

    Bad points> Poor battery life even worst than smaller capacity battery in Meizu 16x and Meizu x8. No obvious advantage of QHD resolution, even make battery life worsen, luckily can switch to FHD. Non programmable Google button. Poor front camera and zoom camera quality, no proper night mode, video stabilization no very effective.

    Balanced

    It is a phone, it has great qualities. The problem at the time was that LG neglected the updates a lot, it reached Android 10 when it should have reached Android 11 and the LG UX menu, although very practical, was thrown out of innovation and news. The battery and fast charging are not its forte either.

    Very good

    Very good battery gives 8 hours of screen, with data gives 5 to 6 hours of screen... The screen is beautiful, the touch screen has good hz, the sound is very complete even better than an s20 comparing it in person, the footprint could be below, the google assistance button should be customizable, the vibration is very good, on Netflix you can see everything in high definition

    Perfectly meets the quality and price

    I want cell phones for games mainly and the truth is that with this cell phone I don't have a single complaint, the power it offers you is more than enough to play in high graphic quality and at about 30 fps. The only bad thing that I can highlight is the battery, playing guarantees you two hours minimum. I plan to buy an external battery case and with that it would be perfect.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
